BATTLESTAR GALACTICA [2003] ARTICLES

November 20, 2003 - Battlestar Galactica gets instant credibility among longtime fans of the TV series who've been waiting for a modern videogame adventure. We're not sure which came first, the decision to make it a space combat shooter or the decision to have space combat shooter veterans Warthog develop it. Either way, Battlestar Galactica comes off as the best and only Warthog-developed space combat shooter on the Xbox and one of the better efforts available on PS2. Warthog's experience with games like Starlancer ensured that the game would feel like you're piloting a spaceship and not just blasting away in every direction like some wall-less version of Quake. The re-envisioned Battlestar Galactica license that puts Adama at the center of the struggle between humans and Cylons may not have the flash and star power of Starbuck and Apollo, but there's enough here to get you all misty-eyed about the search for that bright shining star called Earth.

September 30, 2003 - Warthog is bringing Battlestar Galactica to Xbox and PS2 as a deep space shooter set early in the hit television series' timeline. Starbuck and Apollo are not yet legendary space swashbucklers, to say nothing of underrated star pilot Boomer. Warthog's extensive experience in creating space shooters like Starlancer should provide enough starpower to overcome the lack of familiar faces in BSG.

September 8, 2003 - There's nothing quite like the blissful, guilty enjoyment that comes from watching cheesy sci-fi TV shows. There have been plenty of these shows sent to boob tubes via radio waves throughout the years, and a fair number of them have become classics, for one reason or another. Star Trek, Lost in Space, Buck Rogers and many, many more come to mind quickly...
But don't forget about Battlestar Galactica. The show's actually making a comeback later this year, and to run alongside that release is a game of the same name. Battlestar Galactica will be making its way to PlayStation 2 and Xbox later this year, tentatively around November. Check out the following video interview and learn about what the game's going to offer. We've also got some footage in this piece, so make with the downloading.

June 13, 2003 - Some of you old(er) Insiders may remember the old sci-fi TV classic, Battlestar Galactica. The show was known for its (back then) great dog fights in the depths of space, and it's finally spawning a game that can let the players take part in those battles, just as they were on the boob tube. Check out the following high-res movies, then start praying for a Buck Rogers game as well.

June 13, 2003 - While we'll be the first to admit that media blowouts tend to be bigger and more flamboyant than what we have here today, we can almost guarantee that there's more BSG stuff here than any place on the planet. Just hit the media section and get to clicking. Shots of the Cylon ships you'll be flying and movies of combat from the cockpit view --complete with face reflections-- are all there waiting for you.

June 9, 2003 - Like a certain other popular license set in deep space, BSG is going to be a prequel looking at events set 40 years before the parts of the saga we all remember from the late 1970s. This time we're not going to find out that the biggest badass in the universe was once in fact an annoying little twerp. We're going into the history of the man we all know as Commander Adama, the man leading the Galactica and the rag tag fleet of hundreds of refugee ships in search of a planet called earth.
